Build failed for Ruby 2.7.5 on M1 Mac (Ventura 13.0)

[dungtran3864]

I'm currently using MacBook Pro 2021 (M1 Pro). My MacOS version is Ventura 13.0. I'm unable to install Ruby 2.7.5 on my machine. Please guide me. Here are the logs for the failed build.

Note: I have followed the instructions here for Ruby 2.7.5: https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/wiki#suggested-build-environment with all the latest versions of rbenv, ruby-build, readline, gmp, libyml, etc.

I install using command "rbenv install 2.7.5"

Original logs attached in the comment below!

Hi, something weird happened to your log file. It looks like some tool edited it or added it after ruby-build initially generated it. Please upload the log file unmodified.

@mislav Here are the original logs

[mislav]

@dungtran3864 Thanks for confirming. Your "special" brew setup is the cause of the problem. To fix, you can either install Homebrew the proper way for an M1 machine, or you can uninstall readline, libyaml, and gmp from "special" brew.

[dungtran3864]

@mislav I managed to fix it now!! Thank you!! 🎉

The problem is that I used to have an old Intel Mac and switching to new M1 Mac means the original Intel Homebrew as well as previously-installed packages don't work correctly.

Here are what I did:

1. Uninstall my current Homebrew completely with this script from official website: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)". You can check out the script here: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"
2. Install a fresh Homebrew for M1 Mac with this script: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)". You must follow any postinstall instructions at the end of the successful Homebrew installation to configure the shell or $PATH correctly.
3. Reinstall everything required from rbenv, which means reinstalling rbenv, ruby-build, gmp, readline, libyaml, openssl, etc. Here are the list of commands I ran, which you can find on the official website:
   brew install rbenv ruby-build
# run this and follow the printed instructions: rbenv init
brew reinstall [email protected] readline libyaml gmp
export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])"
4. Close terminal and install Ruby 2.7.6 version instead rbenv install 2.7.6. The reason is that I notice Ruby version 2.7.5 still fails but Ruby version 2.7.6 succeeds. Weird.. 😕 I think this is due to Ruby 2.7.6 is the only stable version for 2.7.x, not the other.

[dungtran3864]

@mislav Can you troubleshoot why Ruby 2.7.5 version still failed this time (while 2.7.6 is successful), please?

Here are the logs:
ruby-build.20221108124934.66099.log

Note: I tried to install Ruby 2.7.4 if this build failed only happens to Ruby 2.7.5, but ironically Ruby 2.7.4 also failed to build.

[dungtran3864]

Nevermind, I found the reason why Ruby 2.7.5 is failed to install. I forgot to run rbenv init and export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])" before I run rbenv install 2.7.5. I'm able to install and use Ruby 2.7.5 now. Thanks! 😊

I have done but it isn't working.

I also have this problem and can't figure out why it is failing. I tried the answer from this thread but nothing seems to work.

The oldest version of Ruby 2.7.x that you can install on arm64 (Apple Silicon Macs) is 2.7.2. However, even 2.7.2 can cause issues. In general, it's recommended to use the latest patch version (the 3rd digit) of any given Ruby version. The latest 2.7.x version is 2.7.8. So, instead of trying to install 2.7.0, it's better to install 2.7.8 and then upgrade your project to 2.7.8. Here's a step-by-step guide I wrote that explains How and Why to Upgrade the Ruby Version in Your Project.
